Abstract

The present contribution illustrates the type material of the Lower Cretaceous ammonoids Ptychoceras aequicostatus Gabb, 1864 (type species of Helicancylus Gabb, 1869) and Hamiticeras pilsbryi Anderson, 1938 (type species of Hamiticeras Anderson, 1938). The typification and taxonomic validity of both genera are clarified, and the affinities with coeval Acrioceratidae are discussed. Their stratigraphic range is investigated with implications for correlation between northern Pacific and European ammonoid scales.
